Hlaudi Motsoeneng, leader of the Africa Content Movement and former COO of SABC, was implicated in the Bososa scandal on the third day of Angelo Agrizzi's state capture testimony.

In fact, he said in an interview on 702 earlier today that “it’s not new,” but added that Bosasa didn’t receive any benefits from him in return. Motsoeneng explained:

“They can’t get anything from me. They have never received anything from me. From me – none. No benefit for Bosasa.”

Needless to say, South Africans had questions. A user known only as Moonraker asked on Twitter if Motsoeneng declared it to SARS, while another netizen said “nothing will happen to this criminal.”

Masemola added that it’s sad “that Hlaudi (or is it ACM) will get votes in the upcoming elections,” because it will mean that real South African people of voting age “will cast a vote for this man regardless of his disastrous mentality.”

The case first made headlines back in 2018 when it was reported that Motsoeneng sourced money from Bosasa to assist with his legal fees following his departure from the public broadcaster.

Motsoeneng also added that African Content Movement receives no additional funds. Instead, they are “using [their] own money.” He explains that their treasurer-general is a “medical doctor running her own business.”

ACM was formed in December 2018 when he made his intentions known to go after Cyril Ramaphosa’s presidency. Motsoeneng believes he will be a strong contender in the upcoming elections and that the ANC wouldn’t be able to knock him down the polls.

Motsoeneng, who is fond of talking about himself in third person, said at the time that people are frightened of him because he is “going to take over.” He believes that he’ll be a good leader and “an action man.”
